Minnesota Patrons of nusbandry

The State Grange held its annual session
at Minneapolis. In the way of annual
business there was not very much done.
The officers Of the grange enjoy terms OF
two years, and this is the other year. w.
s.. ChoSen oficiated as master and Henry
Il. Adams as secretary, both Henpepin
county men. Some new oranges we're
reported to rave been organized dur.
ing the year and several old ones
revived. The membership has increased
materially, and the state grange treasury
has about 5000, with which it is proposed
to do missionary work the coming year.
Prof. Porter wal there and addressed an
open meeting. telling them all about the
doings in his department, recent changes,
etc. o. c. Gregg. who has been conducting
the farmers Institutes, also addressed the
range.
The interstate and state commissions
were endorsed. There see med to be a gen.
eral belief that the transportation ques-
ton would be finally adjusted through the
Intervention of the courts and a returning
sense OF wisdom on the part OF the rail-
road management. The grange put itself
on record on the cleo business in no less
emphatic style than the daifymen. Tie
resolution adopted reads as follows:
Resolved, By the State Grange OF Min
n~esota, in session assembled, on the 18th
day OF December. 1887. in the city OF Min
neapols, that the worthy master of said
state grange be instructed to communicate
at once to our senators and representa-
tives now in Washington the following ex-
preston, to wit: The state grange most
emphaticaily protests against any modi-
~fication OF the present oleomargarine law,
AMI particularly against the repeal OF the
tax imposed by congress.

prIva,e bankers OF MInnesota.

About fifty private bankers OF Minneso-
ia met in st, Paul a few days ago, when
the Minnesota Bankers association was
organised. There are at present seventy.
eight bankers, representing the same mum.
Der of banks, members OF the association.
The association adopted n constitution
and bylaws similar to the American
Bankers association.
The following officers we're elscted for the
ensuing year.
President, C. d. Griffith, Brown county;
vice president. II. X. Wells, Fillmore eoun-
ty; secretary, Il. r. Smith, lie Sueur county;
treasurer, w. Il. Parsons, Dodge county;
executive council, H. b. Strait, Scott
county; C. III. Ross. Brown county; Mar
Gus johnson, Kandiyo obi county; L. Kells,
Stearns county; II. Doran, Le Sueur coun-
ty; Z. ID. Dyer, 0lmsted county; l.. X.
Mayer. Chippewa county.
One of the objects of the as~socaitionis to
protect the private bankers against the
law passed last winter, which in brief pro-
vides:
No person or persons engaged in the bust
ness OF banking in this state. not subject
to the suspension OF the bank examiner,
shall make use ofany office sign having there
on any artificial or corporate name. nor
shall such person makeu use oil or circulate
any letter.beads, blank receipts. etc, hav.
ing thereon a corporate name.
Many OF the private banker OF the state
have been doing business under corporate
names. as the Bank OF LIE Sueur.' This
law will compel them to drop the eorpor.
ate name and do business after the first Of
the year as "Doran q Smith, bankers, " or
to incorporate under the state Law with a
capital according to the population OF the
town or city in which the bank Is located.
The law is claimed to be unconstitutional,
for the reason hat only ninety members
OF the legislature voted for it, and that It
requires q two-thirds vote to change the
backing laws OF the state. Further, that
the state had no authority to eonfscate
the stationery and other property OF tho
banks. as the law practically meant it
should do. Probably a test case viii be
made up for a decision by the courts.

At recent meeting of the Pekin Oriental
society, Mr.. Owen read a paper on animal
worship among the Chinese. He referred to
the worship paid to the fox, weasel, hedge
bog and snake, TO which at Tientsin is added
the rat The first four are called the immor-
tails These deified animals seem to usurp the
entire attention of the people, even TO the ex-
clusion Of the Buddhist and Taoist gods. DR..
Edkins quoted from the Chinese TO prove that
animal worship was unknown in ancient
times, while DR. Dudgeon pointed out that it
was mistake TO suppose that animal wor-
ship was confined TO the four animals men-
toned. The horse, COW. dog, insects, dragon,

A STARTLING FACT.

II il not commonly known that a large
proportion OF the rheumatism and neu-
raIria extant is traceable directly TO the
diseased condition or imperfect action Of
the kidnevs and liver; therefore a remedy
which cures the resulting disease must
have found and smitten the first cause.
Many persons using Athlophoros for
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised to find that chronic disorders OF
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly ON these organs.
cleansing them from oil irritating sub
stances and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with Athlophoros Pills this
is without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world. and
will cure q large proportion OF those who
have thesc diseases.
Said William f. Hutchison, living at -
South Shafer St, Springfield, o., Il don't
think there is anv medicine like Athlopho-
ros for rheumatism. Previous to my using
this medicine | used about every kind of a
rheumatic medicine ever heard of, both
regular and irregular without avail. At
the time commenced with Athlophoros
| was suffering very much. In a very
remarkably short time, in fact had only
taken few doses | experienced very
decided relief. 1t is now over two years
